Calling for a boycott/drop of Time-Warner Cable

They just took it upon themselves to decide what stations we can have access to. (Dropped Current TV after Al-jazeera took over)

Hate to say it, but it looks like none of the cable providers have clean hands anymore.

I'm dropping their tv service for good this summer, though I might have to keep internet. We only get two options here, T-W and ATT, and I really hate ATT worse.

Daily Kos is upset about Current TV being sold to Al-jazeera. Sez the company was never properly run, maybe so, but many here watched it even after Olberman left. Al-jazeera will provide us with a more worldly view of goings on then we get from any provider in the U.S. So i continue in my boycott of Time-Warner.
